Hi Richard,
Thank you so much for letting me walk through the inspection with you while you explained everything to me in great detail. Even though I had my children with me; you treated them with the upmost respect as well as giving them tips on how to add the pulleys to the windows and details of how to do the upkeep of the property. You also was very personable with my sons and daughter and gave them a link to an artist about music. Because you were so personable with them it enabled you to find out that loved to do and that they had a heart for music. Thank you for sharing this with them. That was truly awesome and worth mentioning! I would recommend your company to everyone that I know who needs an inspection completed. This was my second inspection within the past month that I have had done with your company. Because I attended the Homeowners class and personally met you we were given a discount of $55. Now that this was my second inspection and because the house was 103 years old, this inspection was a little higher, but you also gave me a discount of $90 for this one. Thank you so much for that, you were very professional, timely and an absolute joy to work with. You absolutely knew what you were talking about. You totally rock! To anyone who is needing an inspection please don't call anyone else, call 1st Inspection Services because they rock! They give you great bright pictures and details of everything about your house and it will also give tips on how to care for your property which will be a huge bonus for me that I will live by once I am the owner of this property. Thanks again Richard! - B.H., March 2017

Thank you, Richard! I appreciate you taking the time to explain everything to me and answering all of my questions. I'm still puzzled on where that second cat was : ) - J.R., March 2017

Richard does a excellent job explaining items of concern as he inspects the house. We are really pleased with the service 1st inspection services provided and would use them again on other houses we would purchase. The report is also very helpful in bring to mind those items we talked about on the inspection. I especially like the Summary section.
